It is common for studios in Hollywood to produce a movie with plans of a sequel and a possible franchise already in place. But there are many such movies which end up misfiring at the box office, leading to all such plans being scrapped for good.
John Carter, The Lone Ranger and Hellboy (2019) are a few examples of films which were supposed to kick-start successful franchises, but instead they crashed and burned.

Many in Hollywood and on social media were deeply offended by the lack of racial diversity present in this year’s Oscar nominees. This is the first time since 1998 that no person of colour, Hispanic or Asian, was nominated for the Academy Awards in the acting categories.
